Cody, Basically, absolute positioning and variable font sizes don't mix. I would suggest that you try the layout without absolute positioning. You can easily do this by removing the "position: absolute" and "top" attributes and changing "left" to "margin-left". Then you can set a min-height (and height on IE) to the appropriate size that you choose. Then everything will be in the normal document flow. (Oh, you might need to move your image on the left to a float or a background.) And the thumbnails will only move down if the text gets larger than the min-height.

I want the absolute position of the row of thumbnails to hold among all of the projects EXCEPT in the rare case that the text is too large to fit in that space. You can see what I mean by clicking on the project arrows to go from project to project. Is there a way to give those thumbnails an "absolute" position except when it needs to be pushed down? Thanks in advance! I'm very new to CSS.
